 * Hi, is there an option to select where newly installed plugins gets positioned?
 * And do you know why I get a red highlight color before my original highlight 
   color which is grey applys? Ive set all the highlight colors to grey and all 
   text to white in the advanced options, but I still get the red color for a milli
   second. [Video, 10 sec.](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fR3HBfWvYwfEOFfXds9mvknjDWzLPd6F/view?usp=sharing)

 * Not quite. The closest you can get is the “New menu position” setting in the “
   Settings” tab. However, it only controls the position of the menu relative to
   its normal position. It’s not possible to, for example, automatically move new
   menus to a specific submenu.

 * I’m afraid I don’t know. Maybe it’s related to CSS animations somehow? It looks
   like you’re using a custom admin theme. Try it without the theme and see if the
   highlight problem is still there?
